OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES

Ensuring highest possible water quality is the driving force behind this project

The variety and concentration of chemical species in the aquatic systems

can be quite diverse, presenting a challenge in terms of both water purifica-

tion strategies and water quality control.

Thousands of contaminants are used every day and new ones are continual-

ly put on the market. Increasingly effective laboratory detection techniques

are now revealing the presence of low concentrations of contaminants.

Novel water monitoring technologies are needed for all types of water. These

new technologies shall enable pervasive water monitoring, which can re-

place and compliment currently employed laboratory based offline methods

by online or inline monitoring strategies.

MOTIVATIONMOTIVATION

The AQUARIUS project is planned to run for 36 months and subdivided

into eight work packages (WP). Between those work packages there are

significant dependencies and expected synergies.

WP1 Requirements and specifications for Online and Inline OiW analyser is

a foundation point for AQUARIUS execution. The main objective is to derive re-

quirement definitions and specifications for the system, as well as sub-systems

and modules.

WP2 Broadband tunable MIR laser source for spectroscopy will focus on the

design, growth and processing of quantum cascade lasers and optical compo-

nents for fast spectral scanning within the mid-infrared range.

WP3 Broadband MIR laser spectrometer covers the development of a high-speed mid-infrared spectrometer for transmission and attenuated total reflection spectroscopy of OiW samples.

WP4 Inline OiW spectroscopy with functionalized sensor shall develop a compact demonstrator of a sensing system for fast and direct (inline) mid-IR spectroscopic measurement of liquids for determination of the parameter OiW.

WP5 Online OiW analyser by automatic extractor for hydrocarbons in water

will design and develop a system for enhanced online OiW analysis, towards a

concept prototype.

WP6 Validation and assessment of MIR water analysers will perform valida-tion and assessment of the online and inline OiW analysers.

TECHNICAL APPROACHTECHNICAL APPROACH

AQUARIUS will provide an on- and inline capable mid-IR

sensing solution to meet legal provisions for industrial

waste water and drinking water monitoring.

Significant enhancement in sensitivity will be achieved by

advancement of the laser source and the detector as well as

an innovative combination of sample extraction and

preparation.

The AQUARIUS sensing solution will be developed along

the entire value chain towards integration in industrially

proven online devices for water control driven by strong in-

dustrial commitment in this consortium.
